Proposed commit message
Add ECS mapping for the
host.os.versionfield (keywordtype).Users reported mapping exceptions due to
host.os.versionnumeric values causing field mapping asfloatinstead oflong. See #10848 (comment) for more.Elasticsearch maps a field as a
floatif it has a numeric value. This happens even on stack versions 8.13+ because ecs@mappings does not perform type coercion. For example, Elasticsearch maps7.9asfloat, while it maps"7.9" or "7.9 (Maipo)"askeyword.By adding the
host.os.versionfield to the filefields/ecs.yml, we ensure Elasticsearch uses the expected ECS field mapping as akeywordeven when the value is a number.IMPORTANT: To fully resolve the issue, the input/integration owner should update it to emit the right value type to leverage ecs@mappings.
